Hiltons Support McCain, Reportedly Fuming Over "Celeb" Ad Featuring Paris

The new McCain ad featuring Paris Hilton and Britney Spears has roiled the 2008 campaign. In an unexpected twist, it turns out that Paris' father is on the record as an enthusiastic supporter of Sen. McCain:

Contributors to McCain's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination included Rick Hilton. In fact, Hilton was so enthusiastic about his candidate of choice that, The Times' Tina Daunt reports, federal records show he donated twice as much as the law allows (the campaign returned the excess).

Now, of course, daughter Paris Hilton is the costar (along with Britney Spears) in a controversial new McCain ad aimed at ridiculing Barack Obama.

It also seems that the eldest Hilton, William Barron Hilton (who has also contributed money to McCain), is furious with ad, according to conservative blogger and McCain supporter Martin Eisenstadt:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems that the new McCain ad criticizing Obama for being a celebrity has ruffled some unintended feathers. I, for one, quite liked the ad, but I hear whispers from the inner campaign staff that the phone was burning off the hook today with calls from Paris Hilton's grandfather, William Barron Hilton (co-chair of the Hilton Hotel empire), furious that the McCain ad drew an unflattering comparison between Obama and his own granddaughter...

...Apparently, the elder Hiltons had breathed a sigh of relief that Paris was starting to get her act together since hitting rock bottom with her stay in jail last year, when all of a sudden the McCain ad compares her unfavorably to Britney Spears and Barack Obama.

Who would have thought presidential politics would be what dragged Paris back into the spotlight.

Hoax or not. It is a matter of public record as to who donated to McThuselah.

No surprise that the Hiltons are a bunch of neocon Bush enablers.

[pupbayer]

He said they were all celebrities. That's a really bad thing? How so? This is really much ado about nothing

[eden4barack08]

No, airheads, empty celebrities, was why they chose Britney and Paris. Not JUST celebrities.

[JimboSlice]

Fine, just put John McCain up against Wilford Brimley.

[jsinclair]

Paris is lucky to be "compared with" Brittney Spears (a genuine pop singing star, for whatever reason) and Barack Obama--a great man who will probably be our next president.

Sure, it was intended as a diss on Obama, but....SHE'S complaining????

[lincat]

This is crazy. What a bunch of morons.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

OOPS!

Someone just cr@pped his Depends.

[DoomtoNeoCons]

Heh-hah! Down the sh***er the reptards slide! WhEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[leawood]

Wow. The Hiltons are offended that their daughter/granddaughter was lumped in with Barack Obama.

Wow.

[chosenson]

Actually, McCain paid her a compliment by presenting her in league with Obama.

But his intention was to call all three celebrity airheads.

[cbates]

We should stop giving this man our attention. The CM will continue to discuss becuase they are trying to fill time. They should start a show where the blogf questions and comments are reviewed and discussed as they reflect the interest of a few people, I was going to say (in this country).

"I hope Britney and Paris sue the campaign for using their images. They should donate the money to charity."

A better idea would be to donate the money to the Obama campaign! lol

[Meggie]

Look, Hiltons, his pet name for his own wife is C***. If you haven't thrown even more money at him than she has, then I'm not sure why you'd expect Hilton females to be treated with any more respect than C***y McC gets from him.

[jupitor]

Another Mccain moment? Do they ever stop?

[Heavenhelpusall]

I hope Britney and Paris sue the campaign for using their images. They should donate the money to charity.

[dnegri]

Remind me to not frequent Hilton....heck, I never did anyway. Now, Hyatt's a different matter. Won't find any contributions to McCain from them, if I'm not mistaken.
